bolt VS InfluxDB

Bleve supports a few different index types, but I found after much fiddling that the "scorch" index type gives you the best performance. If you don't pass in the last 3 arguments, Bleve will just default to BoltDB.

This crate started out as just a way for me to learn how boltdb works, while learning Rust at the same time. But somehow people started finding and using it and seem to like the simple API, so I figured I might as well share it in case someone else finds it useful too. If you want to know more about my motivations and the history of this crate, you can read the release notes on version 0.8.0!

Some example of embeddable database could be genji, badger and boltdb

Designing Data Intensive applications- specifically chapter 3 and 4 which deal with strategies and algorithms for storing and encoding data to be stored on disk and their pros and cons.

Once you read that, I'll suggest reading the source of a simple embedded key-value database, I wouldn't bother with RDBMs as they are complex beasts and contain way more than you need. BoltDB is a good project to read the source of https://github.com/boltdb/bolt, the whole thing is <10k lines of code and is a full blown production grade system with ACID semantics so packs a lot in those 10k and isn't just merely a toy.

Bolt db and Bolt db's author post to go with it.

https://github.com/boltdb/bolt is a ACID B+ tree key-value store

For a single server, SQLite, or boltdb[0]

I've never had to scale horizontally. I develop in Go and you can get very far along with just vertical scaling (aka beefier hardware).

Therefore I can't give concrete examples of a distributed db-as-a-library.

But all that you need is to extend the functions that fetch data to not just fetch from disk but from "peers" as well. For this to work you need servers (instances) to know about each other, and as you add more they also get added to their peers - sort of like a bittorrent network. I don't think it's difficult to do.

SQLite might not be suited for being distributed (although RQlite[1] claims to have done it).

Making a distributed data storage based on boltdb[0] is probably more feasible.

Whatever the case, there's no reason why a data storage engine can't be a library, even if it's distributed.

One big caveat: As you see, the tag host is transformed to a number format, not a string. Astonishingly, there is no way in InfluxDB to change the tag values with a select INTO values, as documented in this issue from 2015, or a way to rename tags of existing data as discussed in this issue. The workarounds are to use a client software or to use the Flux language, but both is outside the scope of this article.

How does one upgrade from v2 beta to the latest v2? The docs for doing that seem to no longer exist https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/24393
